May 2025 Update

It always astounds me when I realise how much the UK Tarot Conference has influenced and attracted attention from overseas, connections made with strangers, whose only link between us is Tarot, have been a huge and unexpected blessing.   I promised that this year, as we reach the end of the major arcana that the event would be special, and thanks to our international Tarot family, it really is shaping up to be more than I could have dared.   You will note I am being rather cryptic, but I am always reluctant to shout from the rooftops until I know 100% things are in place, we are 90% there!

There are only 10 in-person seats left for the 2025 conference. of course, there is always the virtual option, which we have reduced in price to make it accessible to all.  Virtual attendance offers access to knowledge and professional development.  Our ticket includes two days of live viewing, with recordings available for later viewing, (accommodating different time zones and personal commitments). Joining virtually, you will be able to connect with speakers and attendees worldwide, receive download presentation materials, and any supplementary content provided by speakers.

The talented Chris Butler has been working hard on creating Arcana 78, the full deck to complete the Major Arcana deck created to celebrate 20 years of the UK Tarot Conference. The concept of the minors and courts is a stroke of genius, and we will be printing a VERY limited print run.  I know this will be a collector’s item. I will share more next month.

If you follow on social media, you will see that hard copy programmes have arrived, a bundle has been sent to the Atlantis Bookshop.  If you are in London, pop in and grab a copy.  You can also download the programme from the website booking page.   Sponsors once again have been beyond generous and goodie bags will be extravagant!

Finally, you will see on the programme two events I have in the diary for 2026, the ‘Tarot by the Sea’ retreat, Deal, Kent, in March, and ‘The Convergence of Tarot’ event on 6th June in Canterbury.  The retreat is almost sold out, those who came last year loved it so much they have rebooked, but a couple of rooms are left.  http://tarotconference.co.uk/special-events/

That’s all for now, have a great month!

    May has been a very busy month. I had a wonderful meeting with Jon from Rockpool, who has confirmed they will be joining our exclusive list of sponsors for the 2026 conference.

    After what felt like an eternity waiting for the calendar to turn into April for the Tarot by the Sea retreat, it suddenly arrived. The venue in Ramsgate changed ownership at Christmas, and a new events team took over. There was a period of chaos that left me feeling uncertain about their readiness for our…

    July is a slow month for the conference; most things are in hand by now, and other than sending the final invoices for ticket payments and receiving the wonderful news that Weiser/Red Feather are to be one of our amazing sponsors for the conference, and creating new banners for the conference, I have had time…

    March was a whirlwind. Each year, I attend the London Book Fair with Steven Bright, other than a good catch-up with Steven, the visit is primarily to reconnect with publisher friends and to secure items for the UK Tarot Conference goodie bags. I’m aware that I’ve set a high standard for these goodie bags—arguably the…

    August has been a surprisingly busy month. Usually, July and August are quiet on the conference front, but there has been lots to deal with. I had a meeting with the events team at the venue, and everything is as it should be.  A catch-up with Neil Kelso, as we talked about magic and had a…

    The December Newsletter is always a moment of reflection for me, a time to look back on the year and evaluate the highs and lows. This year’s conference was arguably one of the best we’ve had since the pandemic. And while there were a few behind-the-scenes stresses, it’s essential that all of you see only…
